People of all ages flocked to the Burnaby Village Museum for the city's biggest Canada Day celebration. The day was filled with music, displays, children's entertainment and free cake.

Just across the street from the museum, the B.C. Muslim Association held its Canada Day event, with a barbecue, kids' activities, tours of the mosque and cake. The mosque was draped in giant Canada Day flag.
